HOW TO: Have employers call you with job offers!

(by Ted Nicholas)

Key words are: "Honest, hard working, experienced, immediately available, talented, competent, great references. ‘I’ll help you build a more profitable business’ "

Forget classified ads, resumes, employment agencies, and other traditional job sources. Jobs are rarely obtained by these methods in today’s difficult times. The best source of jobs in any town is in one place. And almost no one utilizes it. It’s in the Yellow Pages. That’s where the jobs are. And most of these businesses do not advertise in the classifieds. They are just too busy.

Here is what you do. Look under the business field in which you wish to work. This is a procedure employment agencies often follow. But why pay them? For example, let’s say you’d like a job as a graphic designer. Look up graphic designers and make a list of them and send them all a giant-sized postcard, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, on shocking pink or goldenrod card stock, so it will stand out.

You will then proceed to write what is the equivalent of a radio commercial on yourself. You’ll be amazed and delighted with the results. Assuming the above all suits you, your card would read:
